You wake up this morning and it’s a brand new day. The View from you window looks lovely and you say to yourself, its most likely going to be a beauty day.

You proceed to sit up and a sharp pain hits you in your lower back.

Some of us have experienced this, while a lot of Nigeria’s are copying with one form of back pain.

How does it come by?

When you become a Screen king or queen. Spending over nine hours in front of a screen, due to work or an over active BBM chat or messenger.We find that most of that time we are sitting with our backs slouched forward with our fingers tapping away at the keyboard, Holding that position for that long over a long period of time has shown that it can be hazardous to your backs continuous healthy.

When you sleep on your tummy. A lot of us like the tummy tuck sleeping position even if it does nothing for the stomach it does bad things for your back. It is best to sleep in a lateral position or lie on your sides, as it helps with not just sleeping well but aids your back in aligning properly during your down time. If you must sleep on you stomach, then place a pillow under you pelvic area, this will help alleviate pressure on your back.

When you always worried what Good luck is going to do about the bad road in front of you house. You worry that rain is going to fall, or that you can’t survive on the little you have. Well keep worrying, pretty soon you will worry why you have back pains. Studies have shown that those who are emotional wrecks and worry a lot are prone to back problems.

There is a lot that can cause back pains.
But there is a lot that can help solve or manage it for those that are living with it.

You might need to see an Orthopaedic consultant, this I recommend if the pain keeps you glued your chair or bed. They are many of them available in our general hospitals, teaching hospitals and private practise, they will always need to do multiple x-rays and scans to determine where the problem lies.

You could get in touch with a Chiropractor, although their services are relatively unknown in Nigeria. They regarded as the best people to see when it comes to back pain and recovery. Currently there is only one centre in Lagos.

You can use various braces and supports. These help in reliving the pain while you work or rest, some of them are fitted with various components to help recovery also. Hey using come in three parts, Immobilation, Compression and stabilization. All this will depend on the decision of you Doctor or Chiropractor. They also ranch in what they offer, sometimes the more expensive they are, the more they work.
